Where’d you get them? I’ve heard that the Crescent brand copy is really good and “way cheaper” but they’re like 25-30 bucks as well.

Not sure if this was your issue, but the air inside the part can get hot enough to build pressure and push your puddle out when you’re trying to seal it up.

Yeah he said he would fail guys that walked the cup. He thought it made for shallow penetration and lack of fusion between passes. In theory, he makes sense, but I don’t think it actually is applicable in the field. Mostly sounded like he had an opportunity to throw his weight around.

I don’t do much aluminum, and when I do, I only have tig. But there’s a lot of good useful info in here. Thanks.

I was listening to a podcast the other day. They had a man named Bill Newell on, and he was absolutely death on walking the cup. Something about lack of fusion between passes, from sharpening the tungsten down to a needle and tipping the torch way back. I can kind of see what he’s talking about, but I thought it was sort of extreme. Curious about your thoughts and experience.
